Prepare the Pans:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line the bottoms of four tartlet pans with parchment paper and spray the sides with non-stick spray. -
Melt the Chocolate & Butter:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. -
Whisk the Eggs:
Beat the eggs on medium-low speed until frothy, then increase speed until light and fluffy. -
Combine the Ingredients:
Stir in the flour and optional espresso powder. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs until well combined. -
Bake the Cakes:
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared tartlet pans. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops are firm. -
Serve:
Cool slightly before topping with optional toppings like powdered sugar, fresh berries, whipped cream, or ice cream.
